EADI General Conference combined with Nordic Conference on Development Research

August 21-23, 2017
Bergen, Norway

In 2017, EADI and NFU join forces together with the University of Bergen as the local host to invite scholars, policymakers and practitioners to a three-day conference to engage in new approaches to understand global challenges and reflect on paths forward.

See the conference website for further information and registration.

Organised every third year, the EADI General Conference serves as the association’s public forum for academic exchange, reflection and debate on pressing global and developmental questions. In the Nordic context, the biennial Nordic Development Conference is organized by one of the respective national development research associations.

The conference is a joint partnership between the European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI), the Norwegian Association of Development Research (NFU), Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI) and the the University of Bergen.

Target Groups
The conference targets scholars, students, practitioners and policy-makers within the broad field of development research:

  • Researchers and students
  • Members of development agencies
  • Representatives of governmental, non-governmental agencies
  • Representatives of civil society organisations

Conference Format
The format will be interactive, with panel and working group sessions. Presentations and papers will be available online and in the conference documentation.

Economist James K. Galbraith (University of Texas, Astin) will start the conference with the Dudley Seers Lecture at the University Aula on Sunday evening (20 August).
